Hustle Puzzle

Hustle Puzzle – No breaks allowed!... unless? 

was made for the ZHdK – Retromorphosen module in the autumn term of 2021.

The idea was to integrate mechanics from two different Atari 2600 games and adding a topic that criticizes unhealthy and unfair work environments in corporations.

You play as the boss of a firm and your task is to chase your workers back to their workplace in order not to lose money and go bankrupt. 

The game is over if no money or moves are left.

The third level contains a moral message, stating that if your workers are allowed to take their well-deserved breaks and vacations, they will work more efficiently than unfairly treated workers and become a benefit to the company rather than a loss.

Controls and how to play:

Press W, A, S, D for moving workers or rotating the environment.
Press Space to confirm.
